* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction): Change "some" to "the".
(Guile and Scheme): "multithreading" -> "multithreaded".
(Combining with C): Mention "libguile" as library name.
(Guile and the GNU Project): New text.
(Interactive Programming): New text.
(Supporting Multiple Languages): New text, reflecting currently
supported languages.
(Obtaining and Installing Guile): Use @var for version placeholder.
Remove mention of separate tutorial.
Conflicts:
doc/ref/api-procedures.texi
doc/ref/misc-modules.texi
(Caused by me removing `@page' from a couple of sections that have been modified
by others.)
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Linking Guile into Programs):
* doc/ref/libguile-linking.texi (A Sample Guile Main Program): Update
examples of how to link with guile.
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction): Add menu entries and sections for
`Guile and the GNU Project', `Interactive Programming' and
`Supporting Multiple Languages'.
Also continue adding a bit more structure to the introductory "what is
Guile" material.
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction): Split `What is Guile?' (which is
a bad heading, since we've already answered that...) into `Guile and
Scheme' and `Combining with C'. Further splits will follow, to
cover the other toplevel bullet points.
(Guile and Scheme): Remove `packaged for use in a wide variety of
environments', as I don't see what this can mean to the reader at
this point. Add text about R6RS and SRFIs.
(Reporting Bugs fits better immediately after the tour of how to use
Guile)
* doc/ref/intro.texi: Move `Manual Conventions' to after `Reporting
Bugs', and rename to `Typographical Conventions'.
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Discouraged and Deprecated): Move from here...
* doc/ref/api-discdepr.texi: ...to new file here.
* doc/ref/guile.texi: Include api-discdepr.texi, and include
`Discouraged and Deprecated' in API chapter menu.
* doc/ref/Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Add api-discdepr.texi.
(The principle here is that Preface should only contain
meta-information about the manual, such as how to use it and who wrote
it; plus any political points that we want to draw attention to.)
* doc/ref/preface.texi (Preface): Make unnumbered, for consistency
with other GNU manuals (e.g. Emacs, GSL). Merge layout text into
top level. Simplify first sentence. Move section on conventions
away...
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction to Guile): ...to here.
This reverts commit e563095988, which is
appropriate because subscription is not now required for someone to
send a message to bug-guile@gnu.org.
